MES is quickly gaining attention as a system that supports manufacturing execution by utilizing critical information. What are the differences between conventional production control systems and MES? In this blog, we will introduce the features and functions of MES, why it’s gaining attention, why it’s crucial for the manufacturing industry, and benefits of implementing it.

Production control is considered one of the most important tasks in the manufacturing industry. So, what is the meaning and purpose of production management? Learn the importance, specific examples of tasks, common challenges manufacturing companies face with production management, and how those challenges are solved.

MEC – or multi-access Edge Computing – effectively utilizes 5G performance, but some don’t understand the difference when compared to conventional Edge Computing. In this blog, we will explain the differences, why MEC is gaining attention, and specific use cases and examples.

Edge Computing is a computing model that is often compared to cloud computing. Discover key features, such as the distributed processing capabilities and real-time performance, as well as the advantages and usage of Edge Computing.

Digital transformation in oil and gas remains paramount in managing mission-critical operations, gaining valuable business insights, improving worker safety, reducing costs, and more. This is especially true for offshore oil and gas production, presenting a unique set of circumstances.

While automation is accelerating business intelligence across industries, many industrial operators lack the staff and experience to pilot new automation projects, relying instead on system integrators. By developing core competencies in emerging technologies like edge computing, system integrators can position themselves as trusted partners and drivers of innovation.

This year, for the first time in three years, we were able to hold a real event inviting our partners to the venue. Personally, I feel that it has become a daily occurrence for people to gather face-to-face and work in a real environment, both in business and private, such as participating in sporting events as athletes.
For the first time in three years, Stratus Japan was able to host and invite our partners to an in-person event. It’s great for us to be able to gather face-to-face and work together in a real environment as opposed to a virtual event – both for business and work as well as in private.

What is equipment utilization? Here, we will explain the definition of equipment utilization rate, the seven major equipment losses that lower the equipment utilization rate, and overall equipment efficiency. Furthermore, it explains the benefits of introducing edge computing to effectively reduce the seven major equipment losses.
